Removing strip lashes is easy with the right technique. Gently loosen the adhesive with oil, then carefully peel off the lashes.

Gentle Removal: A Step-by-Step Guide

Here's how to remove your strip lashes without damaging your natural lashes:

Prepare your remover: Use an oil-based cleanser or a small amount of baby oil. A cotton bud or swab is ideal for application.
Apply the remover: Carefully apply the oil-based cleanser or baby oil to a cotton bud. Gently swipe this along your lash line where the strip lashes are adhered. The oil breaks down the adhesive, acting as a lubricant to help the lashes slide off easily.
Gently peel: Once the adhesive has softened (this may take a few seconds), very gently begin peeling the strip lashes from the outer corner of your eye, working your way inwards. Avoid pulling or tugging, as this can damage your natural lashes.
Cleanse your eyelids: After removing the lashes, use a gentle cleanser to remove any remaining adhesive or oil residue.

Avoid harsh pulling: Pulling on the lashes can cause discomfort and potentially damage your natural lashes.
Work slowly: Take your time and be patient. Rushing can lead to accidental pulling or tugging.
Replace your lashes regularly: Old adhesive can be harder to remove. Replacing your lashes regularly prevents build-up.

Don't use water alone: Water isn't sufficient to break down the adhesive holding strip lashes in place.
Don't pull aggressively: This can damage your natural lashes and lead to irritation.
